World's
Largest Pipeline Company Buys Supermax II
Transneft,
a Russian company with 47,000 kilometers (29,204 miles) of pipeline has
purchased Supermax II. Transneft has two terminals under construction
and several existing terminals at which Supermax II will be used to protect
the environment during transfer and loading operations. Transneft purchased
3,600 meters (11,811 feet) of boom. Supermax II features a freeboard of
38 centimeters (15 inches) and an overall height of 107 centimeters (42
inches).
Special
Boom Application
The
Utah Strategic Alliance Harvesting Company bought 13,000 feet of boom
for a special purpose. The company uses boom to harvest brine shrimp.
It is a specially built boom that makes us wonder how the customer uses
it. Boom division manager Jeff Pearce plans to visit the company during
harvest to see for himself. There may be a way we can redesign the boom
to improve performance.
Sand
Snakes Help on Reef Project
Sand
Snakes are long vinyl tubes filled with sand. They are used as portable
weights to hold down tarp edges and the like. The National Park Service
in Homestead Florida, uses our sand snakes for a special project on coral
reefs. The weights hold down retaining nets that protect the tiny coral
polyps until they are large enough to transplant in areas where the reef
is damaged and needs to be rebuilt.
Success
Story - a Winner in any Language
The
latest recipient of an Elastec/American Marine 'Letter of Success' gift
is Rodrigo Quiceno Arias from Ecuador. Rodrigo received a free radio for
his letter written in Spanish. We don't know exactly what Rodrigo wrote,
but we know what he is saying. No matter what language our customers speak,
they all say the same thing. Elastec Skimmers do a great job and keep
on working.
